Mach5WRX is running the S-03 and he seems to like them and keirnna I believe is using the BF-G and he also seems to be happy. There are tires out that are just as good and don't cost as much I am sure you know that already.

The KDW 2's are great! I have driven on 3 different tires in my STi, and the KDW 2's are definitly the best for both wet and dry in my opinion.

I like RE750...But tire choice depends on what you want to use them for and how long you want your tires to last.

I like them they are a good everyday tire that has plenty of grip and will last..Yea it would be nice to have a sticker tire but why when I mostly do street driving like everybody else no need let me know when your ready to get some..

Hey Roy, most of the guys in the BAIC swear by the S-03.

I myself am running RE750's: unbeatable wet traction and pretty good dry traction. Very predicatable tire (you know when it's about to break traction, etc.).

Hey Roy,

What are you going to do with the tire? Daily Driver? For everyday driving, I like my Falken ST-115's...they are much quieter than the stock Sti tires with very little sidewall flex. They also have the "rim protector" ring to help you from dings...

They perform pretty well in both dry and wet conditions (Kaneohe/Pali/Likelike)...I don't know how they perform on the track though...haven't gone out yet...

i've been wondering about new tires, too... i was looking at the KDWs becuz htey're cheaper than SO3's.. and also costco sells them (both of them, actually). i'm too slow to do the math to see if it's cheaper to go costco or tirerack (after shipping, and mounting)..

Mach5 has experience with both of these tires.
